Just got 2 new v3 Vivi Nova tanks from High Desert Vapes to try out. Never again!
IMO These knockoffs suck compared to the genuine Vision brand tanks I've been using. YMMV
Filling with juice is a PITA due to the small cone shaped metal piece that's mounted atop the coil and under the silicone rubber tube that comes in contact with the top cap. In a perfect world that cone would line up when you go to replace the top cap after filling. In the real world you gotta fiddle with the cone to get it realigned, getting juice on your fingers in the process.
On the genuine vivi replacement coils there's a ridge built into the shaft just above the wicks, which prevents the silicone rubber tube from squashing down the wicks when you tighten down the top cap. These v3 coils do not have that ridge. So while you're fiddling with the cone shaped piece ya gotta watch that you don't push it down and pinch the wicks.
In the top cap there's a hidden recess about 1/8" deep that runs outward toward the threads. See the image for the crap I pulled out of it the first time I used it. I left some left in the top cap for the illustration. It looks like copper wire clippings, though I think it's shavings left behind from the manufacturing process.
